Thorne & Daughters Menagerie ‘Mountain’ Chardonnay 2021

W.O. Ceres Plateau / W.O. Piekenierskloof

In vergelijking met de ‘Valley’ is deze meer uitgesproken in geur en smaak, enerzijds meer frisheid en zuren maar ook wat meer vanille en bloesem.

Christian Eedes, WineMag.co.za, 92/100
Grapes from Piekenierskloof and Ceres Plateau. Lemon plus some intriguing but hard-to-describe secondary notes on the nose. Good fruit concentration and snappy acidity before a pithy finish. Lively and full of flavour. Alc: 12.6%.

“Exploration and experimentation are a fundamental part of our winemaking journey. Each year we meet compelling new vineyards on our travels through the Cape and we get to work with these parcels and tinker around in the cellar with unique projects as a result. Menagerie provides a home and a showcase for these wines.“
